On January 3, 2019, the FCC’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) released a public notice seeking information to help identify actions the PSHSB, communications providers, and power companies can cooperatively take to encourage and increase coordination regarding an emergency or disaster.
Consumers with disabilities are encouraged to share their experiences regarding how their access to communications systems (including wireline, wireless, satellite, broadcast, and cable networks) was impacted by the loss of power leading up to, during, and following disasters.
Interested parties may file comments by accessing the Electronic Comment Filing System at https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings. All filings must reference PS Docket No. 11-60. People with disabilities who need assistance to file comments online at https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings may request assistance by email to FCC504@fcc.gov.
